Glenlivet 1954 15 Year Old Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky Tasting Notes
Nose: Full-bodied aroma.
Palate: There is a much greater presence of peat in the taste than the nose suggests. The smokiness quickly hits the palate and then tapers off.
Finish: Light and elegant as it ends, the last hint of smoke slowly fading out.
